We have developed a novel technology, called nanoparticle conversion, for producing compound semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) in which the dot size, surface density, position, and the materials system are all independently controlled. Nanoparticle conversion also lends itself to spatially controlled positioning of QDs. To demonstrate this technology we report the formation of InP QDs using nanopar

Popular Abstract in Swedish Min avhandling heter Knowledge and Survival in the Novels of Thomas Hardy (disputationsdag: 15 april 2000). Jag fokuserar på två sorters vetande: det traditionella, som jag kallar ‘det vardagliga’, och ‘det specialiserade’, som är knutet till modern vetenskaplig utveckling.Abstract This thesis identifies two different kinds of knowledge in Thomas Hardy's novels: the everyday, passed on from generation to generation, which is non-academic and closely bound to the local environment and its traditions; and the specialised, recorded in the printed word, which is the product of formal education and independent of the local community and its traditions. These two kinds o

Frank Plumpton Ramsey (1903-1930), British mathematician and philosopher, best known for his work on the foundations of mathematics. But Ramsey also made remarkable contributions to epistemology, semantics, logic, philosophy of science, mathematics, statistics, probability and decision theory, economics and metaphysics.

This report contains four case studies of deposit refund systems for beverage containers in Sweden. It provides an in-depth review of the development of Swedish deposit refund sys-tem for four types of beverage containers – one-way aluminium cans, one-way PET bottles, refillable glass bottles and refillable PET bottles – since their inauguration, as well as concrete operational mechanism and resul

Viewing information systems (IS) as services is beneficial but still an unexplored approach for IS in organizations. The aim of this exercise is to contribute to the knowledge base on designing IS as services. This paper presents an analysis of enterprise resource planning (ERPs) systems through the lens of service oriented architecture (SOA). Services are explained and defined through SOA theory.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Årligen diagnostiseras cirka 60 000 nya fall av cancer i Sverige (Socialstyrelsen, 2015), och var tredje person beräknas få en cancerdiagnos under sin livstid. Trots stora framsteg inom forskning och utveckling är cancer, näst efter hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar, den vanligaste dödsorsaken i vårt samhälle. Bland de tio vanligaste formerna av cancer hör lymfom, vilket är etMantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is an aggressive form of B-cell lymphoma (BCL) with poor clinical outcome. In this thesis, which is based upon five original papers, different approaches have been used to pinpoint and investigate molecular events that promote MCL tumor growth, progression or resistance to treatment. The aim has been to identify novel targets with the potential to eradicate malignant cel

This study analyses the development of the Lao freight logistics sector with a special focus on domestic demand for freight logistics services. Based on empirical data, the study focuses on two main dimensions of the Lao freight logistics sector: (i) the development of a private freight logistics sector since the formulation of the New Economic Mechanism (NEM) that progressively opened the Lao eco

Explicit expressions for the spectral properties of the bifurcation problem involving discontinuities for general elastic-plastic materials are presented. It then follows that the classical value of the critical hardening modulus derived by Rice (1976. Proc. 14th IUTAM Congr., Delft, The Netherlands, pp. 207–220, North Holland, Amsterdam.) is, in fact, the only possible one. Furthermore, from the

To an ever-increasing extent, in scientific investigations of various kinds are data collected, which consists of verbal expressions. They may have been generated through verbal presentations, personal interviews, open questions or written accounts. Therefore, it is not unusual that an investigator is confronted with data collections that appear to be “unstructured” and of an extent that it seems
